Phillip,
Sounds like I may not have been clear enough, here ;)
What I mean is that ORB #26399 was issued most likely during the first half of 1942, and that ORB2 #26399 was issued in the mid-1950's (by the way, it was of the oval type, not of the round one) - in other terms, we are dealing here with different "classes", the same way that we can find an OPW1 SN 10375 and OPW2 SN 10375 for example.
So, to get back to this piece, once again the base is genuine, made at the KMD mint, but the engravings (both SN and N2) are fake.
